matronage 

matronage (n.)- when women holistically support the work and careers of women artists, and think beyond just an instance of commercial exchange, but also consider a woman artist's long-term well-being, both professionally and personally.
Matronage was the difference between an artist returning to her work after the birth of her child and never expressing her art again.

Matronage is a core value that unites women regardless of their interest in art.

maronate 

To sit at home like a shut in while becoming increasingly more and more paranoid that everyone is out someplace talking about you or plotting your demise. Literally drive yourself crazy with self induced delusional worry.

*probably while obtaining an ellipsis tattoo.*
Hey did you invite so-and-so to come with us?

Yeah but she would rather stay home and maronate all night.

Patronage 

The act of appointing someone to a public office for literally any reason other than their ability to hold a public office.
An example of patronage is electing a man who is clearly suffering from a mental decline, and a woman who has ruined several people's lives just because she is a woman, to get rid of a man whom you hate for no reason.

Oh, wait.

matronation 

Matronation is a state of ignoring reality while arguing and fighting over trivial things. A person in a state of matronation is usually a troll or an Internet nag.
She would never discuss the topic at hand, all she wanted to do is argue, her matronation makes everyone sick.

matronize 

To manipulate by pretending to be excessively feminine or helpless. A female version of patronize. Used by men, women, and children
I'm just no good at doing laundry. You're so much better at it than I am.

You're so strong. I never could have changed that tire without you.

My arms are too tired to carry the rest of the groceries in without dropping them.

Don't matronize me, you are perfectly capable of doing that.
